Section 6A:8-6.1 - Purpose

(a) This subchapter implements the Bridge Year Pilot Program authorized by P.L. 2020, c. 41. The law provides students in the graduating classes of 2021 and 2022 with the opportunity to defer graduation from high school for one year to offset disruptions to learning opportunities and participation in extracurricular activities that might have resulted from the closure of schools for in person instruction in the spring of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The rules specify procedures that all school districts, charter schools, and renaissance school projects with high schools and participating nonpublic high schools must follow, as well as the eligibility criteria for students.

1. This additional year will be referred to throughout the subchapter as "bridge year."
